Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

My husband reached MMI on 5/4/10 and was given a permanent impairment rating of 4%. Due to things beyond our control he had to resign from the employ of the company at which he got injured. The insurance company is now telling him that for his permanent impairment benefits he will only be getting 37.5% because he "voluntarily resigned" and if he had stayed employed there he "would have potentially" been making his normal wage. She is taking 50% of the 75% that would be given under other circumstances. This sounds really strange to me that the benefits can be reduced for what "could have or would have" happened under other circumstances. The fact is...he is unemployed and not earning those wages. Can they reduce his benefit for that reason?
